devices, VIA Eden ESP processors based on the C5P Nehemiah
core incorporate the VIA PadLock Security Engine¹ featuring the VIA PadLock ACE (Advanced
Cryptography Engine) for US government-approved Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) cryptography, and the quantum-based VIA PadLock RNG (Random
Number Generator) for generating high quality entropy.

Security applications that leverage the military-grade capabilities
of the VIA PadLock Security Engine can be deployed
quickly and easily across a broad range of devices including
PCs, thin clients, set top boxes, home digital entertainment
centers, point of sale terminals, and intelligent network
routers in a wide variety of wired and wireless networking
environments. Potential usage scenarios include Virtual
